According to George, the profile of the people involved in the protest processions and marches has changed from last year. "Yesterday, I saw more young people and people who we had not seen in such protests. We could not avoid the clashes but I think they were occasional. There were no "hooded youths" at yesterday's protests, to ruin things in an organized manner."
How does he define the position of trade unions? "They try to unite the people around themselves. And they managed to do it to some extent. On the other hand, they failed to stop the implementation of the measures. They are likely to fail this time too. It all depends on the decisions of the government and the report of the supervisory Troika. I do not know what would the reactions would be if the measures were severe. So far, I do not think that the participation in the protests is similar to what has happened over the last three years."
